How many people who watch Fox News know Trump pardoned a man who helped bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.?
Hardly any of them, I suspect.
Sometimes the right wing murders the truth, sometimes is just kidnaps it and throws it in the basement.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:

They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.
Small world.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
